Welcome
   
My Brothers,

Another year is coming along and as we all return to school the spirit of education and self improvement is all around us; which can only mean one thing. It’s almost time for Section Seminars at Sand Hill Scout Reservation in Brooksville Florida. For this event we’re bringing together some of the most knowledgeable Arrowmen from across the state to offer some truly top notch training. You will be able to learn more and develop your understanding of OA programs and other life skills while sharing in fellowship with brothers from all around the Section.

Some of the highlights include a Saturday night powwow, FourCorps reunion, Huge Patch Auction, opportunities for a Service project in a nearby park, and all the most up to date information about what’s going on with National programs in the coming years.

So be sure to join us as we come together to strengthen our Lodges into the second century of scouting.

Yours in Brotherhood,
Sean Ferrier
Section S-4 Chief
